Royal Servants – Seamark Descendants

Why did the St Medard family come to prominence in the
1400’s, the answer may never be known, chance or the position of the Manors and
Estates to the Great Battle fields of the “War of the
Roses”. From the direct tree simplified it can be seen that the family had
links to Earls and Dukes, including the Powerful Norfolk, Salisbury and Bedford
families. The Burghley/Salisbury links are still to be found in terms of
linking to the St Medard Tree, who was John Semark, see Hatfield
House Section.

The most notable Seamark “relations” from the Tudor Times
are descendants of the Howard family, The Three Queens of England, Catherine Howard,
Ann Boleyn and Elizabeth 1st, Catherine and Ann being nieces of
Catherine Broughton and William Howard Lord, Howard.

The most infamous family gathering would have been at
Chenies; To make arrangements for the imprisonment of Mary Stuart Queen of Scotland,
“family members” known to attend Earl of Bedford, William Cecil, Lord Burghley
and Queen Elizabeth 1st
